Most heavy machinery operates on diesel fuel and as such, the fundamentals of diesel mechanics are a major part of heavy equipment training. Usually, a basic course on diesel mechanics is typically required of trainees. Some of the main objectives of the course are to teach an operator on basic troubleshooting and maintenance procedures in the event of a problem with the machine. Often, this training saves a mechanic from being called out in the middle of nowhere simply because a piece of machine requires the addition of something minor such as engine oil. Diesel mechanics for heavy equipment is an education all unto its own; therefore, extensive training is not normally offered in the course book for the general training program.
